Working with refugee and migrant communities

In this lecture, you will begin to understand some of the wider implications of immigration policy and how it affects health access for women from refugee and migrant backgrounds.

You will also increase your knowledge of the social circumstances many women experience prior to coming to Australia and how this impacts their interaction with the health system.

This lecture is hosted by Rebecca Bartlett.
